| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The car was parked when i noticed the missing pieces of tread. upon closer examination of the tire, i noticed that the some of the tread was separated from the tire. also some of the steel belts was showing. i droved to the nearest goodyear dealer and they indicated that there was 25% tread left and the amount to replace the tire was over $112.00. i went to another store and purchased another brand of tire which was less expensive than the amount quoted by the goodyear dealer. i contacted the gooryear customer service and they also said that it was an expensive tire and that their policy was to prorate the tire. i am glad that i noticed this before going on a long distance trip this weekend. i have 2 concerns - 1..i need to report the tire defect to somebody. 2. i think that similiar to the firestone situation, goodyear should at least pay for part of the tire replacement, not just prorated based on an artificially high list price. recall . *ak (dot number: poxo bmer tiresize: p225/60r16) |
